dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify installed Galaxy Wearable version on AndroidOpen the Galaxy Wearable app, tap the hamburger menu (three lines) in the top-left, then tap Settings. Scroll down and tap About Galaxy Wearable to view the current version number.Affected if The displayed version is earlier than 2.2.63.25042861 (for example, 2.2.62.x or lower)
-
